 Pineapple Ananas comosus in family Bromeliaceaeis a large, succulent, and tasty fruit with immense health benefits. Among all the cultivation activities of pineapple, harvesting is the most difficult, time consuming, and energy intensive process due to the higher plant density and spiny leaves of pineapple plants. Although, mechanization helps to increase the efficiency and post harvest quality, very little attention has been drawn to the mechanization of the harvesting process. Therefore, the aim of this study was to introduce an efficient mechanical method for harvesting to overcome the practical problems associated with manual harvesting. The major concept of this is to harvest more fruits from one place by minimizing movement in the cultivation. The long handle, fruit picker, stalk holder, cutter, and operating levers are the major components of this device. The remotely operated cutter and fruit gripper are fixed in one end of the 2m long handle and operating levers are attached to other end so that all the fruits within a nearly 2m radius circular area can be harvested from a one place. The performance of the mechanical harvester was evaluated compared to the manual method at a pineapple field in Kurunegala district of Sri Lanka. The Actual harvesting capacity of the device was 385 fruits h 1with 84 efficiency while the manual method recorded it as 210 fruitsh 1 with 64 efficiency when it is operated by males in double row cultivation systems. Results clearly showed that the mechanical method saves more time considerably than the manual method.

 Potato Solanum tuberosum L. is an important crop that plays a major role in food security and poverty reduction to a large proportion of rural farmers in the North West than other parts of Rwanda. However, potato is a perishable product which necessitates an effective choice decision of the market outlet. This paper presents factors influencing smallholder potato farmers’ choice decisions for market outlets in Rwanda. Through a multistage sampling technique, cross sectional data were collected from 585 smallholder potato farmers in Musanze and Nyabihu Districts.Both descriptive statistical methods and econometrics methods were used for data analysis. Multivariate probit model was used to determine the factors influencing smallholder potato farmers’ choice decision to sell to particular market outlets. Results showed that farming experiences, level of education of decision maker, household size, household income, household assets, access to market information and distance to market significantly influenced the smallholder potato farmers’ choice decisions of selling to consumer, retailer, wholesaler, cooperative, collection centres and processors market outlets. The study recommends establishment of structured market systems to improve access to potato market information. This should be supported by agricultural financingfor improved seeds acquisition and other productive inputs to enable farmers to increase surplus potato supplied to market. Improving the farmers’ education in marketing would also help them to effectively deliver potato to efficient market outlet.

Many lessons have been learned since agricultural mechanization was first introduced and adopted across many regions. Eastern UP can apply and learn from the drawbacks and achievements in other countries in its efforts to devise and implement a sustainable agricultural development strategy for the future. Such a strategy can enhance and improve development outcomes and sustainability, support further development of agro industries, and increase scientific and technological innovation and capabilities, while pursuing coordinated urban and rural economic development. This paper focuses on and analyzes mechanization strategies and case studies in postharvest and mechanization that have been carried out over several decades to address differing conditions in countries and their policies towards their rice mechanization systems. As such, the emphasis is on the technologies, policies, practices, strategies, and models that relate to different parts of mechanization systems within specific regions. However, while many mechanization drivers and needs differ from one place to another, a wide range of mechanization elements can be transferred to suit local aspects and conditions in new locations. Furthermore, success stories can help in conceptualizing time and decision making needs, and can also avoid the drawbacks that have appeared in some countries’ mechanization systems, with the goal of leading to faster and more adequate adaptation of different technologies and policies in various implementation stages.There is no consensus on the definition of mechanization, and even when specialists agree on a definition, they sometimes disagree about whether or not it fits particular needs. The term “mechanization” describes the introduction of tools, implements, and machinery for improving the productivity of farm labor and of land it may use either human, animal, or motorized power, or a combination of these. In practice, therefore, mechanization involves the provision and use of all forms of power sources and mechanical assistance for agriculture, from simple hand tools to draught animal power to mechanical power technologies. Hence, agricultural mechanization is the application of mechanical technology and increased power to agriculture, largely as a means to enhance the productivity of human labor and often to achieve results well beyond the capacity of human labor. This includes the use of tractors of various types, internal combustion engines, electric motors, renewable energy, and other methods of energy conversion. Based on the source of power, the technological levels of mechanization have been broadly classified as hand tool technology, draught animal technology, and mechanical power technology. Mechanization also includes irrigation systems, food processing, and related technologies and equipment.
